Book Description
Many people dismiss the world of the paranormal as impossible. Others, based on their own unsatisfactory experiences, conclude that all claims of profound intuitiveness amount to fakery. Fictionalized images of sorcerers and soothsayers consorting with unholy forces linger among us, while media exposés of pseudo-psychics leave little room for the voices of genuinely gifted extrasensory consultants to be heard and fairly judged. When God Taps You On The Shoulder is a response to these common negative connotations. It is the testimony of Lillian Cosby, a woman whose supernatural gifts were evident from early childhood, but who did not accept her abilities until her early thirties. In service to those who seek her, Lillian Cosby's biography ranges from city neighbors, schoolchildren, and high national government officials, to the glitter of the entertainment world, corporate Tokyo, and beyond. Beneath the brilliance of her own star status, however, Lillian remains grounded in Spirit. When God Taps You On The Shoulder offers wisdom born of experience as well as concrete spiritual techniques to move us towards a deeper relationship with the Divine.

Little Taps on the Shoulder from God
Author: Mary Hollingsworth
Publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing
ISBN: 1449413250
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
A touch can mean so much--friends who reach out to comfort one another, parents who offer a reassuring hand, even strangers who extend a silent sign of consolation. But when that comforting caress comes from a higher power, it carries even more meaning. It's God's way of letting us know he is with us, watching over us, protecting us, helping us through life's adversities.What better time than now for a book like Little Taps on the Shoulder from God, an inspirational volume that provides a place of quiet refuge amidst the world's chaos, war, and terrorism. Through wonderful anecdotes interspersed with touching quotations, inspirational writings, and thought-provoking scripture, Little Taps on the Shoulder from God gives evidence that we are loved. Take the story of Missouri senator Thomas Benton, who narrowly missed an instant death in 1844 when he turned to speak to a friend who'd laid a hand on his shoulder. He was so moved by his escape that he revamped his entire life. Or the graduate student who felt an unmistakable hand on her shoulder while driving alone through a bitter storm. The experience gave her a calm that's lasted more than 20 years. As Little Taps on the Shoulder from God proves, the almighty doesn't always need drama to get our attention. Instead, he often comes softly, like a snowflake or a rainbow or a tap on the shoulder. With this beautifully illustrated book, readers will find reassurance that God is present in their everyday lives.

Creating a Tech Sabbath Habit

Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
The impact technology has on our lives today is incredible and offers amazing conveniences to our everyday lives. There is no doubt or debate about how technology can enhance life if it is used in the right way—in moderation and with clear and concise boundaries around it. But the more technology enters our lives without boundaries, allowing it to rule and take top priority, the more easily we can find ourselves virtually imprisoned by it and not able to truly enjoy its benefits. Instead, we become its slave as it leads us down a road of isolation, stealing our rest and taking the place of the things in life that matter most to us: our families, our friends, and our relationship with God. InCreating a Tech Sabbath Habit,author Bryan Brooks shares his personal technology lifestyle transformation in a remarkable way. Through exposing details of his personal testimony of trials, combined with divulging his God-given convictions about the risks of technology overload, Bryan helps guide you through implementing your own tech Sabbath habit plan. Filled with commonsense approach and practical insight,Creating a Tech Sabbath Habitwill help you learn the importance of unplugging your mind—following God's command of rest to restore your spirit—and will teach you how to lead a more balanced high-tech lifestyle without getting rid of the technology in it.

Short Term Spiritual Guidance
Author: Duane R. Bidwell
Publisher: Fortress Press
ISBN: 9781451407327
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
This book represents a significant departure from most contemporary writing about spiritual direction. While most writers focus on long-term relationships of guidance, specifically envisioning long listening sessions, Bidwell changes focus. Spiritual direction, he insists, typically requires intervention in a specific crisis or situation or question, is not formal, lasts fewer than five sessions, and must be actively and intentionally focused on the person's growth. Bidwell's work shows what spiritual directors can learn from the short-term therapy model, especially about enabling people briefly but effectively to ''learn to listen on their own and with others for God's presence.'' Focusing on how God is already active in the directee's life allows the participants to identify God's action and respond in ways that collaborate with that identified movement of the Spirit.
